I think that if the atomic bomb did nothing more, it scared the people to the point where they realized that either they must do something about preventing war or there is a chance that there might be a morning when we would not wake up.

Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it is easier.

When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.

If the use of leisure time is confined to looking at TV for a few extra hours every day, we will deteriorate as a people.

When you know to laugh and when to look upon things as too absurd to take seriously, the other person is ashamed to carry through even if he was serious about it.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
